Although many cultures venerate their elders, looking to them as living repositories of wisdom and experience, America, with
its "forever young" self-image, does not. Explores the lack of respect for elders in the United States compared to other cultures
and examines ways in which Americans can age well despite the lack of societal support. Lacking that societal support, how
are Americans supposed to age well -- to grow older with grace and understanding -- and make life's final decades a meaningful
experience? This program features the stories of exemplary individuals who, despite the inhospitable social climate, are growing
older with courage and dignity

Are prisons supposed to rehabilitate criminals? Punish them? Or simply keep them off the streets? And when ex-convicts return
to society, as most inevitably do, does their prison experience make them likely to become repentant--or repeat offenders?
Tough laws that include mandatory sentences are popular with voters, but they create the need for more and more prisons to
handle the increasing number of inmates. The result is a burgeoning public and private industry to build and maintain prison
facilities. But who's looking at the larger societal issues? This program explores the current state of prisons in America
and examines their conflicting goals

Is global warming real? Are industries to blame? Is there a hole in the ozone layer? Did irresponsible consumers cause it?
Which scientists should we believe?For centuries, people have counted on science to provide them with objective answers to
questions about the world of nature, but on pressing environmental issues such as global warming and ozone depletion, some
